ahh, maybe it’s a bug

maybe they meant adding domains for free, most free hosts don’t allow you to use custom domains for free and require a paid plan for that. so could be that OP is willing to pay for the domain itself but not for using it, which is fair

may I ask how you found it ? really curious why it’s getting comments so many months later 😅

If google is giving out top level domains for free now then it is a market dominance strategy because nobody else can do it I think.

I don’t they do, they only give free subdomains

what about wordpress.com ? (yeah, it’s different but by the same developers)

something to use, also this is an old post lol 🙃. I eventually settled on codeberg but I’m open to suggestions

what ? why ?

that is fair, but your ISP is logging the DNS requests anyway, and NextDNS allows you to turn off logging.

Edit: I also don’t see how it’s worse than ads and trackers, they can only see the domain names of the sites you visit.

or just NextDNS which doesn’t even require anything to be installed

we need a federated review system that’s not connected to any particular site or company, I believe that’s the only good way to avoid such things

can you elaborate ? not saying you’re wrong, just want to understand what you mean.

have you considered redirecting to whoogle or searx ? you can use farside.link which automatically redirects to a working instance. it would be helpful for people who want to avoid using Google
